I tried this probably 25 years ago and I wasn't a fan of Balkan blends at the time. I've since come to enjoy the incense-like nature of them, and Balkan Sasieni delivers on that in good balance. The foundation of Virginia and Latakia keeps this very well centered, and creates an identifiable reference point for the Balkan tobac in the mix. I can highly recommend this.
Haven't tried the Balkan yet but I must say the other varieties of tobacco were top shelf. Fresh, distinct and whole. No bottom of the barrel, crushed flecks and flakes. Always packaged and bagged with order and care, with little bag of pipe cleaners thrown in. And sometimes a sticker! Only A+ experiences with 4 Noggins.
Not Sobranie but the next best I've found. Good stuff.
Latakia? More like Latakick-you-in-the-pants.
You know why I find Standard Mixture to be far superior? Because it’s balanced. Contrary to my initial impressions, this is not. (Smoking tobaccos in a Meerschaum rather than a briar or a cob has made all the difference in tasting the tobacco itself.)
Balkan Sasieni is like a nice campfire: you sit down ready for a lovely experience, but then some genius comes around and dumps a pile of bark onto the fire. In other words, too much smokiness ruins the experience for me.
Recommended for Lat' junkies, but a caution to those who prefer a condimental sprinkling.
A gorgeous, balanced melody of bold flavours, and I swear it's the Macedonian oriental that gives this tobacco its unique profile! ("Pungent" is the correct descriptor from the advertising.) Dedicate a cob to this blend and you've got a lifelong friend as long as it stays in production. Just half an hour of drying out the tin and you're good to go. One of my top 10 favourite tobaccos, and the best balkan I've ever smoked.
And most likely the best balkan I'll ever smoke!
